In science we created a bath bomb. We had to read and follow the instructions. Our teacher helped us. We discussed our predictions then tested them.
We created sentences using foam letters. This was the class favourite. It is good because it is easy to fix when you make a mistake.
We have key words that we practice in spelling. Today we made them using magnetic letters. We worked in partners so that we could check each other and help each other.
To help us to learn to read, we had to read the phrase then match it to the picture.
We know that learning to recognise rhyming words is very important to help us to read and write. We used matching cards to find rhyming words.
Primary 4 learnt all about the mummification process as part of their interdisciplinary topic of the Egyptians. They learnt about the history of mummification, carried out a scientific investigation and then applied what they had learnt to mummify a tomato.
The Glasgow Science Centre came to the school to do an input and workshop with the boys and girls. P4 learnt about the human body and how their body works. They carried out fun activities and loved learning about what their body can do!
Lots of thought showers were happening in P4 when they were learning all about the weather. They carried out scientific investigations into how the water cycle works and made a model of tornadoes using soapy water and a bottle!
This term P4 have been learning all about the human body. They have learnt about the different systems for the body (e.g. Respiratory, digestive etc.). They studied the human skeleton, muscles and joints. They even made their own functioning human finger to demonstrate hinged joints!
